Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister for International Trade.
In responding to a question earlier about his answer to me on Monday, he claimed that he had never denied that the Government of Canada had any responsibility in the signing of the financial arrangements for the sale of the Candu reactor to China, yet he did exactly that. If we check the record, he said that it only had to do with the Export Development Corporation and AECL.
If he is changing his mind now and saying that the Government of Canada is actually responsible, then why was there not the environmental review that should have been in place? The minister cannot have it both ways. Either you were responsible and there is a review, or you were not responsible and you are telling us something different here today.
